I cannot import files on to FCPX.

I have tried everything, trashing preferences and reinstalling app, but nothing seems to work. I deleted movie files to make space on the hard drive, since then I cannot get fcpx to load any files and work properly. What am I doing wrong?

I deleted quick time movie files. The app then would not load properly. I then binned the whole app, and re-installed it from the app store. FCPX would not load at all at that point. I trashed preferences using digital rebellion. No joy. I then wiped the hard drive (backing everything up this time) and re-installed OSX mountain lion (latest version) and then again reinstalled the app. FCPX now loads, but it will not load any projects in the viewer or import files from any of my sd cards. It is not a hardware problem I have checked, I dont care if I lose files from FCPX I just want to be able to use the program again.
Did you perform a clean install?

Help--Cannot Import Files!

I cannot import files into Final Cut Express HD 3.5. I have downloaded the latest updates and am on OS 10.4.9, but the problem started before the OS upgrade, so that isn't the problem.
My Macbook is about 2 weeks old, and the program worked when I first got it. But then it started to give me this message:
I installed the latest FCE Updates, but nothing seems to help. The only solution I have found is to create a seperate user account for video editing. I don't know why that works, but it's a pain. I don't like having to log out to work on a video.
The files are just JPGs, and I even imported these same pictures before. Video files do not work either.
I have searched and haven't found anything.
Help would be appreciated.

Have you tried deleting the preferences files in the account that doesn't work, as in Final Cut Express 2: How to Delete the Preference Files?
Make sure you delete all 3 files: just adapt names to your version of FCE.

Win: Cannot import files from camera

I am running PSE 6.0 on Windows XP. I have updated Camera Raw to the latest version. I have a Canon EOS XSi camera attached. When trying to import the files for the camera I get the message "Adobe Photoshop Elements cannot upload files from this device...." Camera is connected properly and has a strongly charged battery. PSE also cannot open or import RAW files that were transferred from the camera to the harddisk using other software. Latest version of the Camera Raw plugin is documented to support this camera. What am I missing? The import is working on a RAW file when this message occurs. The import stops and no files are imported.

Which version of Camera Raw are you using ? Can you try copying these files from your camera on your hard disk and then trying import via File->Get Photos from Files and Folders.

Lightroom 4.4 cannot import files exported from CaptureOne Pro8, but LR5 can??

I am a recent new user to PhaseOne's CaptureOne Pro8 software. I am using it for some RAW conversions, but still want to use my LR4.4 product to catalog, and further edit, those conversions.
I have tried exporting TIFF, DNG, and JPG from Pro8, but NONE of those files can be imported by LR4.4 I can selected the file, and then LR hangs on "Importing files...". Oddly enough, I can move to other LR modules, like Develop, and the software still works, but the import never completes.
I downloaded a trial LR5.6 via Creative Cloud, and that version of Lightroom imports the JPG files just fine. I have not tried to see if TIFF or DNG can be imported.
So my questions come down to :
Are there any LR4.4 users here who also have CaptureOne Pro8? Can you import Pro8-exported JPGs into LR4.4?
Is there any insight as to how LR5.6 handles files differently than LR4.4 that could explain why LR4.4 cannot load these files?
I have no other issues with any other software package that can read JPGs, only LR4.4. Keep in mind LR5.6 works fine, as well.
Hmmm?
Thanks for any help, insight,
Mike

BKKDon - Thank you so much for the Photoshop Family route. I kinda found myself going in circles on the Adobe support pages, and thought this user-to-user forum was my only option for LR4 support. Appreciate the link.
And, I believe you have helped me greatly narrow the problem down. I was not familiar with JFIF, and now I am. I was able to find some utilities to essentially strip all of the APP markers within the JFIF, and now I can import those files into LR4. I suspect that CO7 did not utilize APP marker in the JFIFs, CO8 does, and LR4 stumbles when it sees APP markers. That's speculation based on how I made the LR4 import work, and not by doing direct inspection of different JPGs or JFIFs. Thanks for the tip on JFIF, that gave me a lead that panned out.
Now if I could just figure out why DNG and TIFF seem to be similarly afflicted, LOL.

Error Message: Cannot import files because they cannot be found.

What do I do? I just purchased this! I tried restarting and I just installed it about an hour ago. I shouldn't already have this problem!

A couple of questions/assumptions. The folders panel on the left side of the screen should be pointing to the location of the the files you wish to import and the panel on the right side should be pointing to where you want LR to store the imported files. Are you doing a move, copy or DNG conversion or are you telling Lightroom to just leave the files where they are and just import them into the catalog? Are you importing from a camera/card reader? The message indicates that LR can't read the folder that you pointed it to so there could be a number of reasons for that including security issues. More details would help.
If you are importing directly from a camera or card reader, sometimes copying the files from the card to a temporary folder on your desktop and them importing the files from there works better but I can't explain why. This is what I do as part of my own workflow but I have read other posts where people have said that doing this first copy worked for them.

Cannot import files from hard drive

I just got an iPod and downloaded iTunes (for Windows). I imported some music from CDs, but I can't import files from my hard drive. I've tried adding them as files and in a folder. Every time, nothing happens. I don't get an error message, but the songs don't show up anywhere in iTunes or on my iPod. Can anyone help me?
P.S. They are .aac files.
iTunes 7.0.2.16 Windows XP

Can you confirm that you are following one of the methods in the Add to Library section of this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.
In particular, pay attention to the statement that "iTunes adds entries in your iTunes library for the selected files, and copies the files to your iTunes Music folder (if you have that option selected in the Advanced pane of iTunes preferences)."

With new version of Lightroom 5, I cannot import files from Nikon D800

Hello-
I am having a ton of problems with Lightroom ever since I downloaded the latest version of Lightroom 5. Anyone else? I cannot open my catalog which I keep on an external drive but even more troubling, my files from my Nikon D800 and D700 will not import. Any ideas? I didn't have these problems before I "upgraded". Thank you.

"Some import operations were not performed.
The following files were not imported bc they could not be read. (1)"
This is after just trying to import one but I get the same message when I try to import more than one. Thanks for any ideas.

Cannot import files into iPhoto

I have home movie files on an external hard drive that were downloaded there from my old Windows XP computer. They are ".mov", ".mpg", and ".avi" file extensions. When I try to import them into iPhotos on my iMac, running OS X Mavericks, I get a dialog box stating that they cannot be imported. How do I get these movies onto my iMac. Thank you for your help!

There must be compatible with Quicktime formats:
Media formats supported by QuickTime Player
If you can open the movies with Quicktime, save or export within the app to a compatible format. Otherwise you'll have to use another 3r party software to convert those movies, or use another player to view the movies without converting them, but does will not fix your issue with iPhoto.

Lightroom CC saying it cannot import files because it cannot read files

I recently upgraded my windows machine to an imac and am excited about using the adobe suite. Unfortunately LR is not importing any files off my SD cards. It says files cannot be imported because it cannot read the files. I never had this issue before. with LR 5.5 on my windows computer. thoughts?

This error message usually signifies that you are trying to import / copy files to a drive/ folder/ sub-folder for which you do not have read and write permissions.
Make sure you check all the relative locations to ensure you have the required permissions to complete the task.

Cannot import file to iMovie: "File not found"

I am trying to build a home movie on my desktop.
I am using iMovie and have clips that are currently downloaded and available to view in Quicktime.
After clicking File>import>movie and selecting my desktop file, an error message pops up (pictured below) saying that I can not import my videos to imovie because "file is not recognized"
I noticed that the clips i am trying to import are in the .mp4 setting but even after changing it to .mov it still did not work
Please Help!!

I'm a bit puzzled why iMovie wants to move the file rather than copy it.
Have you tried dragging and dropping the file with the Finder into an iMovie event?

Cannot import files that I just saved on photoshop

This is the situation I encounter very often: I get a graphic from a client, I open it on photoshop, resize it, crop it, check transparency and so on, then I save it as a .psd file to work on it on Premiere
When I open Premiere and select the import function I can see the folder and I can see the file I just saved but Premiere doesn't let me select it to import it. The file shows up on the screen as transparent as if its not possible to select it
I am attaching a screen shot below to illustrate what Im saying, this is the little screen that shows up when I select import from Premiere. The file I just saved on photoshop in this case is "gmc logo 3" and as you can see its not on full black color but on light gray, and it doesn't let me select it for import
Now the very weird thing is that to solve this situation I have to go outside Premiere, open the FINDER and find the folder and the file in question, I then select the same file Premiere didn't let me select and then drag it from the outside window into the Premiere timeline, and Premiere DOES take it, it plays well, it works, everything is good but 5 seconds prior Premiere didn't want to read it using the import function
Ive been working like this since I got my system but as you can imagine is very annoying. It doesn't do it all the time but 50% of the time it does, I haven't been able to see which specific format it does it with, I think it does it more with .psd files but Im not 100% sure its only with .psd files
Just wanted to know if anybody else has encountered this same situation, maybe its something simpler than I imagine. I have a Premiere CC installed on the new Mac Pro
Thanks!

Mark you actually solved the situation I think, and no I hadnt notice that the file in question was the only one without an extension.
It seems that when I select SAVE AS on photoshop I select the entire original name file (including the extension) and I write the new name (erasing the original extension) so the file doesnt have an extension and when I select import on Premiere then it doesnt let me select it because of that.
As I mentioend on my original post it was simpler than I imagine, thank you!!

I cannot import files on to FCPX.
